Yesterday, we lost a very dear friend โ€” and Port Douglas lost one of its true legends. ๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿค๐Ÿชฝ

Michael Gabour was a true gentleman, a Port Douglas icon, a damn right legend, and one of the most interesting people weโ€™ve ever had the privilege of knowing.

He lived a thousand lives in one lifetime. Every conversation came with a story, an adventure, a lesson, or a laugh. He had a way of captivating a room without ever trying, and always left you richer for having spent time with him.

Michael was a familiar face at Watergate, someone who brought warmth, character and conversation through our doors time and time again. He wasnโ€™t just a guest, he was a treasured friend who was more like family, and someone we loved dearly. ๐Ÿ’“

Fly high on that Harley-Davidson in the sky, Michael. ๐Ÿ๏ธ๐Ÿชฝ We hope the road is endless, the stories are flowing, and the wind is always in your hair.

You will be deeply missed, endlessly loved, and forever remembered. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Ride free, our friend. ๐Ÿ’–

Hidden in plain sightโ€ฆ if you know, you know. ๐Ÿ‘€โœจ

๐Ÿ“Right in the heart of Port Douglas, just off Macrossan Street, thereโ€™s a flame-lit path (beside LJ Ho**er Real Estate) that leads somewhere specialโ€ฆ

Follow it, and youโ€™ll find Watergate. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿท๐Ÿด

Tucked behind the buzz, made for long lunches, late dinners, and nights that linger a little longer than planned.

Not everything we serve starts on the menuโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŸ

At Watergate, our chefs work closely with fresh, seasonal, local produce to create dishes that are a little bit creative, a little bit unexpectedโ€ฆ and always worth ordering.

This beauty? A one-off. A little test. A lot of flavour. โœจ

Inside tip: the specials are always spectacularโ€ฆ itโ€™s how we like to play, refine, and sneak in what might just land on the next menu. ๐Ÿ˜‰

So if you see it on the specials boardโ€ฆ trust us, youโ€™ll want it.

Think four indulgent courses, perfectly paired wines, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you forget what time it isโ€ฆ in the best way!
